£125,000 a week footballer struggles to put on bib

The moment £125,000 a week footballer Mario Balotelli was left stumped as he had to be dressed by a club official after struggling to put on a training bib.

Balotelli, who was signed by Manchester City for £24 million, was caught on camera struggling with the clothing ahead of Thursday night’s Europa League clash against Dynamo Kiev. The former Inter Milan star, 20, can be seen desperately trying to pull the white bib over his head before getting his arms stuck.

A disbelieving member of City’s backroom staff is then helping the Italian superstar into the bib, but the striker suddenly realises he has the wrong coloured bib and removes it before the despairing official returns to replace it with the club’s trademark blue bib.

Balotelli finally managed to dress and undress himself for the match – in which he was sent off for dragging his studs down an opposing players’ legs after half an hour.
